yeah thats all that I hear anymore... is was like 500 below yesterday or something

Well, to give the media credit (which I do not, by any stretch of the imagination, do lightly), the DOWJONES has broken records these past two weeks.

Heh... I watched a bit of the presidential debate yesterday. Barack Obama was talking about the state of the economy and at the bottom of the screen there was a scroll showing what the stocks were like. While he was talking it showed red arrow after red arrow...

Monkeys working as waiters in Japan

Off-topic of the current conversation right now, but I feel sorry for those cute little monkeys.

Okay, back to economic problems...

Hahaha, we're interested in the world economy, since it' officially blowing the big one.
Iceland's banks are now owned the by the Govt. looks like.

Crisis will get worse, experts say

How many of you are betting that there will be another Great Depression within the next 20 years or so?

Within the next 20 years?! If a depression happens it will be this year and the next, not in 20 years time. We might have come out of the depression and go back into the one but I think this will be the big depression.

Hoolahhh for economic crises.

Bullcabbage.
The old people that remember the depression are saying this is bull.
When half the businesses in the country start dying, I'll take it seriously.

You just jinxed it.... :P

DAMN YOU! :P

Meh, I'm an optimist.

We aren't in an ecomnomic crisis... The only reason things are getting hot is because of the election. pople need something to talk about an debate ove. The reason the stock markets are crashing is because people get worried over stupid things and are pulling out. That money, they can't get back, they are hurting their own wallets and making the market lower because they pull out for no reason. If they would stay in they wouldn't be losing their money, cause it will eventually return to a good point.

Not entirely.
Several banks, all important, and all big, have crashed.
The subprime thing is a legit issue.
One of the few...

Not a depression, but definitely an economic crisis.

Yep.

Not to tight, I'm just being theatrical about it. But Ihave noticed a difference.
(i.e., less money in my wallet.)

I have $1.03 to my name.

I don't worry about money.. If I work for what I want and I am happy.. all is good
